Abstract:A microtome designed for the surface preparation of entire increment cores allows cutting plane surfaces on cores up to a length of 40 cm. Compared to the common sanding procedure, the wood cells of the annual rings remain open, not filled with swarf, and the cell walls are smooth and hence clearly visible. This article aims at describing the functionality of the microtome and the procedures needed for an accurate surface preparation to achieve a good contrast for subsequent image analysis. Possible applications for a more detailed analysis of variations in the tracheid structure of conifers and vessel sizes of oak are presented, which can be included in time series analyses.
